Sunday is VINTAGE RACE Day!
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Car Shows grew up around the race track. Sunday of #PVGP weekend has evolved over 40+ years into THE day for watching the races. Unique to North America, the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is the longest running vintage race on city streets. There is one other similar event in the world that you can venture to Monte Carlo to see in person. The Cortile della Corsa is ONE of SEVENTEEN+ Car shows that take place on Sunday. |
If you already where registered on Saturday you are registered for Sunday as well.
Sunday ONLY Price: $75 includes, based upon availability:

Our Sunday events are focused on the #PVGP Racing. Plan to spend the morning heading down to the Paddock on one of the shuttle buses and the afternoon enjoying the races. We have a very full event schedule listed below. It's a great day to kick off with a tour of the Paddock Race cars and have a shady lunch at our private viewing area in the Westinghouse Pond. Later, you check out and view the Patron Parking parties.

All Day
Sunday is "Patron Parking" day and one of the best and oldest traditions of the Grand Prix. Patron Parking is a reserved parking area on the Schenley Park golf course to watch the races. This is the day you can bring your "other car" but still park at the Cortile. Our Tifosi area at the Cortile with private track viewing compliments the Patron Parking atmosphere. Enjoy. NOTE: Tifosi Parking Sunday: $75 /car. Car must be approved by Cortile Staff. (No Minivans) |

Cortile participants gracious donations and support to the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy raised funds for many years for the restoration of the Westinghouse Pond. We now have the most opulent trackside viewing area of any of the car shows during the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.
Mazza Winery has partnered with the Cortile to host a private wine tasting during the PVGP Parade and opening ceremonies on Sunday. The VIP area is only open to registered Cortile Car Show participants and will kick off around 11am and run until about 3pm There may be a limited food selection of prepared sandwiches and food trays. Grab a pizza in the Cortile if you prefer that for lunch. |
The entire area is shaded within the tree lined track. It's one of the very best places to watch the vintage races cars jockey for position into the apex of Turn 9 and the execute passes on their way up to German Hill.
"Wine on 9" is the brainchild of Deb Schurko, of Pittsburgh Opera gala's fame. According to Deb, "This is really how we've got to use such a gorgeous place! It's so beautiful to begin with and what better place to sit back, savor some good wine and watch vintage racing! It's just the kind of classy thing that the Cortile has become known for!"
